October was a very busy month for our family, according to the amount of pictures uploaded to this blog post!
Cute sisters playing on the playground as we watch Noah's football game.
Fun night out with cousins at Venezia's Pizza while the dads went to the Priesthood session of conference!
We took a trip to Castles & Coasters during October Break. It was
just mom, Suzanne, Ellie, Noah, Sophie and Abby. We had so much fun, the
weather was pretty nice, and there weren't any lines all day long!
Day 2 of October Break was spent at the Phoenix Zoo. It was awesome to
take Abby for the first time and for Daddy to be able to join us.
(we didn't purchase the picture they took of us at the entrance so here is the "proof")
Daddy also took days 3, 4, and 5 of October Break off to spend time with
us. It was so nice to have him home! On day 4, we rented a RZR and took
it out to the desert. Sophie had gone back home and Noah had gone to a
family campout with Ellie, Suzanne, and Lance - so it was just Dad, Mom, and
Abby in the desert. Miss Abberdeen loved it. She was so good the
whole time, only acting nervous if she saw mom acting nervous! Also,
having rained the day before made this the perfect day. It was cool
enough to wear jackets as we rode and felt so nice outside.
(This helicopter was flying low and circling over us just to give us a show. The people inside waved to us before they left.)
"Helping" dad with Sophie's birthday present.
Crazy goggle girl!
Abby started attending nursery a little pre-maturely (before she was
officially 18 months old). Aunt Alisse was subbing in the nursery so we
thought it would be a perfect way to get Abby used to it while someone
she knew could help comfort her if she got sad! It's nice that we have these pictures
Alisse took to document her first nursery experience!
We took our family to see "Meet the Mormons" for our
family home evening one night. We really liked the movie and Abby was
pretty good considering her age. She only wanted to run around during
the last 30 minutes or so of the movie.
We also took a tour of the new Phoenix temple!
Abby gets to go on most date nights with mom and dad (that needs to
change)! Here's Dad showing her how to draw while we were at a restaurant. If she has even an ounce
of artistic ability in her, it didn't come from her mama!
Lucy and Sophie had a sleepover and Abby thought she was cool hanging out with the "big girls"!
Abby gets to go to nursery with Davis. They are both the cutest!
We took family pictures and here are some really cute ones of Abby from that day...
Abby LOVES panda bears and was so excited about what she thought was a
giant stuffed animal when her Halloween costume arrived in the mail!
When she saw herself in the mirror though, she didn't know if she should
laugh or cry. She was a little bit scared of it at first!
We got to eat lunch with Noah at his school on his birthday. Abby gets excited anytime we even pass the school in the car so this was awesome for her!
Cutest babies in town: Davis and Abby
The night of our neighborhood's trunk-or-treat was way too hot for the
panda costume. We had bought Abby this penguin costume as a back up in
case the panda didn't arrive from China in time for Halloween. She was
the cutest little penguin and had a fun time at the trunk-or-treat.
Halloween night: Cleopatra, Panda Bear, and a Military Man
We spent Halloween night at Grandma & Poppy's house (as usual). Noah
and Ellie didn't care to go trick or treating but instead passed
out candy all night. We took Abby, Sophie, Davis, and Lucy
trick-or-treating together after eating some pizza :)
Cutest cousins: Cinderella, Cleopatra, Prince Charming, a Military Man, a Loofah, and a Panda Bear.
Abby was so sweaty when we took off her panda costume... Noah helped her air out!
Here are some more fun and random pictures of Abby that we took throughout the month:
She helps herself to Dad's ipad then hangs out in his chair just like him.
Here she has all her favorite toys as she watches the "baby channel".
This woman has become a tv head in the past month or so.
Just being crazy (and scroungy)... we took this picture at 11:30 one night. She's a night owl.
Abby wins the award for best bed head!
Obsessed with the baby channel...
